You know for what its worth, and over many years I've had a fair bit of luck using Win ammo in Win guns, Rem ammo in Rem guns. Used to hate Federal. Then came along Fed premium..... Had I to venture a wild guess on all the 270s I've seen, at least down here and to include a few Remmy semi autos, they shoot Federal Premium 130 SBT good enough not to worry about others.

I suspect the companies like Remmy test their ammo in most of their guns till its tweaked for the best. But then were does that leave folks like Hornady? A myriad of guns to test in or just load up to lower ES/SD and then from what I've seen low numbers there may or may not coorelate to anything on the target.

I always thought part of buying a new gun was either picking a bullet and die set and working up the best load OR if not reloading going out and buying a box of every kind in the weight I want to shoot and depending on the twist rate of the barrel. Isnt that part of the fun.

And in the long run I'm back to the stupid statement, you just never know. When you think you've got a handle on a pattern, you shoot a flier.......
